    <remarks>This amended Form 3 is being filed in order to correct the initial reporting of the manner in which Director Philip S. Weigand held his shares.  Mr. Weigand's initial

filing mistakenly reported that an additional 10,515 shares were held directly when these shares should have been reported as held indirectly (by Spouse).  Mr.

Weigand's initial total share holdings (102,584 shares) were correctly reported.  This amendment has been filed immediately upon discovery of the mistake.</remarks>
